Most cadet colleges in Pakistan open registration for the 2027 entry session between December 2026 and January 2027. Registration windows are short — often 3 to 6 weeks — and a missed window means waiting a full year. This page gives you the typical window for every college we cover, plus what to prepare so a short window is never the reason you miss one.
When does each college open registration?
The 2027 dates below are expected windows based on each college's historical pattern— most colleges have run their admission cycle in the same months for years. Colleges announce exact dates through their own admission notices, which override anything on this page. Click through to each college's page for its entry test pattern and how to prepare.

What to prepare before the window opens
Because every window is short, the families who get seats are the ones whose paperwork was ready in November. Before December:
- Student's B-Form or birth certificate (and two photocopies)
- School progress reports for the last two years
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Parent/guardian CNIC copy
- A decided target: Class 7 entry, Class 8, or both
How do we verify the exact date for our college?
Each college publishes an official admission notice — on its website, in national newspaper, or on its notice board — announcing the exact registration open and close dates for the year. Treat this page as your preparation calendar and the college's notice as the final word. If a college's notice contradicts the expected window here, the notice wins every time.
What happens after registration closes?
After the window closes, colleges issue admit cards, then hold the written entry test (typically a 200-mark paper — see the CCH syllabus breakdown for the pattern), followed by interviews and medicals. Start preparation before registration opens, not after — the 3-month study plan is built to finish exactly as the tests begin.
Frequently asked questions
When do cadet college registrations open for the 2027 session?
Most cadet colleges open registration between December 2026 and January 2027 for the session starting August 2027. Exact dates come from each college's own admission notice — prepare early using the typical window, then verify.
What documents should we prepare before registration opens?
B-Form or birth certificate, two years of school reports, passport photos, and a parent's CNIC copy — all before December. Windows are short and incomplete forms are commonly rejected without reopening.
Can my child apply to more than one cadet college?
Yes. Windows overlap across colleges, so applying to several in one season is common — one preparation plan covers the shared test pattern, and students take the best offer.
Start preparing while the window is closed
Registration is the easy part — the entry test is the filter. Practice the real pattern free: take the 10-question diagnostic or the daily quiz.
